“We can’t go out to eat because we can’t afford it.” “I won’t be able to buy new shoes because we can’t afford it.” Have you ever said anything like this? I have. Plenty of times. Usually when we say we can’t afford something, we’re trying to look like some kind of martyr or get someone to feel sorry for us. We’re a victim.
This is not the way to dig yourself out of financial troubles! A “woe is me” attitude will never get you very far. I know because I tried it for a long time. As soon as you allow yourself to believe you’re a victim, you relinquish your control over the situation. When you face the challenge head on and do everything you can to make it better, you’ll be a winner.
Instead of complaining about not being able to afford something, say, “I’m choosing to save money instead of buying this.” There are plenty of things that you could afford to buy, but you make the choice to pay your bills, feed your family, and save money instead. When you take the attitude that you are being deprived, it makes following your new financial plan very difficult because you take on the role of a victim. You lose your power when you do this.
If you have had a victim’s attitude for a long time, be patient with yourself as you try to work your way out of this way of thinking. It took me a year to adjust my thinking and have a more positive attitude because I kept backsliding into my old thought patterns when things didn’t go smoothly with our finances. You will go through good and bad times with your finances, but your attitude needs to remain positive through all of it.
My suggestion for you:
Don’t play the victim with your finances. You will feel powerless to change anything and will end up being stuck in your money worries rut.
